Note - the new Building Standards pages on the Scottish Government site are under construction and subject to change. Links on these pages do not presently work. If you require Building Standards information, technical and procedural handbooks and access to the register, please continue to visit the Scottish Building Standards website.
The Scottish Government is responsible for Scottish building regulations and preparing technical guidance on how to meet them. The Scottish Building Standards Agency (with former responsibility) was disbanded on April 1, 2008 and its functions were transferred back to the Scottish Government.
The government also produces a guide to the procedures to be followed before building. Technical and procedural handbooks and short guides are available on the SBS website.
